The following text is an unattributed contribution to a commemorative
event of the Fallsington Friends Meeting, dated either 1924 or 1933. It
lyrically describes the site and notes significant family names.

The last of these appears to have been partially obscured by roadbuilding.

In the eastern part of Bucks County, PA, in the townships of Falls
and on the outskirts of the little village of Fallsington, are two Friends
Meeting Houses with their graveyards and an elementary day-school belonging
to the Orthodox branch, all close together. The older of those
Meeting Houses, bearing the date 1789 on it eastern gable, belongs to
Hicksite Friends and is a substantial stone building facing the south
and the road which separates it from the large burial-ground opposite. It
is on high ground and back of it in the same yard, with rolling ground
between, is the Orthodox Meeting House, also of stone and of capacious
size, with the date 1841 on its eastern end.

The grounds surrounding the two Meeting Houses are irregularly hilly
and shaded by great magnificent oaks, which lend much beauty and equal
attraction to the place.

In the Orthodox wall -enclosed burial-ground, just at the back of
the Meeting House, the interments have been made mostly with families
of the same names together in rows. There may be read the names
of Lippincott, Kirkbride, Lovett, Healy, Moon, Burgess, Satterthwaite,
Price, Comfort, Eastburn, and others, all graves marked in accord with
Friends’ restrictions. The wall about the yard is stone with
a beveled rough cast capping, while the shade trees and the uneven surface
of the ground lend beauty and an atmosphere of peace and repose to the
spot.

The Orthodox Burial Ground at Fallsington is rather more attractive
to the observer than the older ground of the Hicksite a few rods to the
southward, in front of the older Meeting House where about two-thirds
of the space forming the oldest section is a plain green lawn unbroken
by the sight of memorial stones. Among the names seen on the stones
in the lower and western section are Palmer, Stackhouse, Warner, Kelly,
Headley, Hance, Albertson, and Satterthwaite. The caretaker’s dwelling
is between this and another cemetery also belonging to Falls Meeting………

Just beyond the caretaker house the newer Burial Ground where are
memorial stones recording the name of Breece, Burton, Croasdale, Crozer,
Lovett, Stackhouse, Satterthwaite, Thor, Watson, Wharton and Woolman.
This burial plot is quite open to the sunlight, but about the Meeting
Houses are many ancient trees, which show evidence of being older than
any of the oldest buildings.
